This play is Thomas Bernhard's devastating satire on the business of literature. The novelist Moritz Meister, after years of neglect, has finally achieved the status of Grand Old Man of German literature. With breathtaking regal condescension he receives his minions: a graduate student writing a thesis on him, a journalist preparing an adulatory article, his publisher arranging the publication of his magnum opus. He regales them -- and the aud...

Thomas Bernhard, durante una estancia en un sanatorio, profundizó su amistad con Paul Wittgenstein, hombre original, pintoresco y patético, un verdadero personaje de novela. En cuanto a su tío Ludwig, el mítico filósofo en cuya vida o leyenda se inspiraba Corrección, sólo aparece aquí como en hueco, como una ausencia muy marcada. Se ha dicho que mientras Ludwig llevó su filosofía al papel y no su locura, Paul era un loco porque reprimió su fil...

The narrator, a scientist working on antibodies and suffering from emotional and mental illness, meets a Persian woman, the companion of a Swiss engineer, at an office in rural Austria. For the scientist, his endless talks with the strange Asian woman mean release from his condition, but for the Persian woman, as her own circumstances deteriorate, there is only one answer. "Thomas Bernhard was one of the few major writers of the second half of...

In The Voice Imitator, translated by Kenneth Northcott, Bernhard gives us one of his most darkly comic works. A series of parable-like anecdotes - some drawn from newspaper reports, some from conversation, some from hearsay - this satire is both subtle and acerbic. What initially appear to be quaint little stories indict the sterility and callousness of modern life, not just in urban centers but everywhere. Bernhard presents an ordinary world ...

Instead of the book he's meant to write, Rudolph, a Viennese musicologist, produces this dark and grotesquely funny account of small woes writ large, of profound horrors detailed and rehearsed to the point of distraction. We learn of Rudolph's sister, whose help he invites, then reviles as malevolent meddling, his 'really marvelous' house, which he hates, the suspicious illness he carefully nurses, his ten-year-long attempt to write the perfec...

Written with a dark pain and drama that recalls the novels of Dickens, Gathering Evidence is a powerful and compelling memoir of youth by one of the twentieth century's most gifted writers. Born in 1931, the illegitimate child of an abandoned mother, Thomas Bernhard was brought up by an eccentric grandmother and an adored grandfather in right-wing, Catholic Austria. He ran away from home at age fifteen. Three years later, he contracted pneumon...

Thomas Bernhard otobiyografik beslemesinin ilk kitabi Neden - Bir Deginide orta ve lise ögrenim döneminde yasadiklarini son derece carpici bir bicimde yansitiyor. Dogal güzellikleri fasist ve Katolik yapisiyla gölgelenen Salzburgda yetisen bir gencin ruhen kötürümlesmesi yalnizca bombardimanlara ve savasin yikici etkilerine bagli degildir. Önce Nasyonal Sosyalizmin, sonra Katolikligin carklari arasinda ögütülen sey, körpe zihinlerin yaraticili...
